'It doesn’t appear that the federal government is prepared,' Hobbs said as she addressed the media, government officials and migrant shelter workers Tuesday.
TUCSON, Ariz. — If there’s anything to take away from Arizona Gov. Hobbs’ press conference Tuesday at the Casa Alitas migrant shelter, it’s that the state isn’t ready for the influx of migrants ahead of Title 42’s expiration Thursday.
The governor announced a five-point plan focusing on public safety, partnerships, transportation, shelter and executive action as she reassured the state’s border towns. The executive director of Casa Alitas, Teresa Cavendish says they’re bracing for migrant numbers in the thousands later this week. A drastic increase to the hundreds they typically process on any given day.
She says migrants arrive from many countries throughout Central and South America, with some coming as far as India.
